netem: Introduce skb_orphan_partial() helper

Commit 547669d483e578 ("tcp: xps: fix reordering issues") added
unexpected reorders in case netem is used in a MQ setup for high
performance test bed.

ETH=eth0
tc qd del dev $ETH root 2>/dev/null
tc qd add dev $ETH root handle 1: mq
for i in `seq 1 32`
do
 tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:$i netem delay 100ms
done

As all tcp packets are orphaned by netem, TCP stack believes it can
set skb->ooo_okay on all packets.

In order to allow producers to send more packets, we want to
keep sk_wmem_alloc from reaching sk_sndbuf limit.

We can do that by accounting one byte per skb in netem queues,
so that TCP stack is not fooled too much.

Tested:

With above MQ/netem setup, scaling number of concurrent flows gives
linear results and no reorders/retransmits
